If you lok, you will fid: There's an empty place
Whee the laws of the wld are cmpletely disgraced. 2
In th spring, in this and, the hunting dries out;
And y midsummer's day Hunter's nowhere abou. 4
In the fall, just 'fore dan, he again pokes aound
(Though it' soon that he finds that n hunting be foun). 1
In the wintr he thrives and ool hunting i good,
Though he hunts not in rairie, nor mountin, nor wood. 3
But, alas! on comes spring and he begins to feel umbrage
And again, through the ummer, hibernates in dar slumberage. 1

I think the answer is
Stars
Working off the same logic as Nudge Nudge above (upvote!), the five stanzas yield:
1
L(o)ok, Fi(n)d, Whe(r)e, W(i)ld, C(o)mpletely => Orion
2
th(e), (l)and, (b)y, abou(t) => Belt
3
da(w)n, a(r)ound, it'(s), n(o), foun(d) => Sword
4
wint(e)r, (c)ool, i(s), (p)rairie, mount(a)in => Space
5
(Y)on, (s)ummer, dar(k) => Sky
Then given the words, take the
Indicated letter of each word: O(r)ion, Bel(t), (S)word, Sp(a)ce, (S)ky and rearrange to form STARS, which is of course what Orion's Belt and Sword in Space/Sky are formed of
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
This is very close +1! The end result is correct, but the last stanza has three letters (and relates to the subject matter better than Stack Exchange). Check my grammar, is anything amiss?

Partial to kick things off:
The missing letters in each stanza appear to be anagrams:
If you lo(o)k, you will fi(n)d: There's an empty place
Whe(r)e the laws of the w(i)ld are c(o)mpletely disgraced.
ONRIO -> ORION
In th(e) spring, in this (l)and, the hunting dries out;
And (b)y midsummer's day Hunter's nowhere abou(t). 4
